Fascinating. This gun is a textbook example of forgery technique which everyone should study. It is particularly revealing of the attempt to recreate halos on the barrel stampings.

My Paratrooper Komrade, your correct! Stevie couldn't be fooled! That pistol is screwed up in too many ways to count! Really bad job on the wooden mag bottom. Like Dwight says, a textbook example.

This thing has been posted on auction forever. The guy sold it to a forum member, who returned it after it was decimated by we band of "experts".
His "post return / re-post" description included "The most hated Luger on the internet." I see now that he has changed it back, and to trying to pass it off as the pure quill again.

OK, for starters...
1. Take down lever has two sets of different numbers 2. A crude attempt at faking halos was done by removing blue from around bottom barrel stamps 3. C/M allignment on left of reciever is awful 4. The double zero stampings are irregular and inconsistent throughout gun 5. Magazine stamps are laughable as is leather stamps on face of holster 6. A couple of the double 0 stamps appear to be stamped over other digits And that is a starting list.. Tom A |
